God could have programmed us as robots to do whatever he tells us, but then we'd never have the freedom to love and worship him.

Failure is not an option. Failure is necessary...We try. We fail. We learn. We adjust.

Some decisions are obviously much more inconsequential than others. For example, let's say you choose the blue shirt over the red one; not much is likely to change. Red meat over white meat once a week won't likely make a huge difference in your health. But if you believe that grilled chicken is healthier than a cheeseburger, your lunch choice might cause you to pause; especially if you know that the cheeseburger also comes with fries and a large chocolate shake.

As we're growing closer to God, I ask people to decide when God wants them to stay planted exactly where they are.

Rather than just reacting to the waves of things that come, ride them with deliberate intention.

Because my life was changed by God's Word, I love every organization that helps people know him through his Word.

God doesn't want us to be happy when it causes us to do something wrong or unwise
